Today, we go to war. Pit two objects against each other and let them fight it out. You’ve heard of STAR WARS, COLA WARS, WAR OF THE ROSES, ROBOT WARS… Write your verbal battle with the title, ____________ WARS. Be creative and nobody will get hurt!

Morning Wars
She must have heard my room door creak
For she’d be waiting at my chair
The war would start with laptop there
Between her ears I’d have to peek
While stroking fur so soft and sleek
I’d try to nudge her to the side
But she would move where screen would hide
The battles drove me clear insane
But I would like to fight again
I sure miss Snickers since she died

THE LI-MON WAR
Coming to the aid of thirst,
There could be worse options
Than choosing lemonade or lime.
Every time I put the squeeze on,
One would please me more than
The other. If I had my druthers,
I’ll pick lime! Anyway, it’s easier to rhyme!

This makes me wonder: is a bad car is a lemon, what kind is a lime?

I think we used to have lime…it was a John Deere riding mower with many problems;-))

Retirement Wars
Come to sunny Florida,
you can be outdoors each day,
except, of course, in hurricanes
or when mosquitos whisk you away.
Arizona is the place to be,
our climate is always dry.
Of course our summer heat is scorching,
and a cactus could poke out your eye.
We have the pools
and political fools
We have the painted desert
We have key lime pie for dessert.
Wherever you decide to retire
No doubt, you will likely perspire.

I’d imagine one would sweat less in Arizona. At least, that state has elevations. I love this piece.

HEARD AT THE SINK
The dish remarked to the crock,
“I’m prettier than you,
and that is why men seek me out
when they’ve a yen to chew.”
The crock replied to the dish,
“You’re shallower than I,
and that is why men stay with me,
for I can satisfy.”
The two clinked back and forth
till both of them were broken,
and that is why men should not treat
either of them as a token.

THE WAR OF THE WORDS
A noun and a verb met in battle
to see if the other one’s tattle
could squelch or annoy
his opponent’s grand ploy
to emerge as the prince of the prattle.
